Brain age prediction from MRI scans in neurodegenerative diseases.
Review in Current opinion in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewThis review explores the use of brain age estimation from MRI scans as a biomarker of brain health. With disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's increasing globally, there is an urgent need for early detection tools that can identify at-risk individuals before cognitive symptoms emerge. Brain age offers a noninvasive, quantitative measure of neurobiological ageing, with applications in early diagnosis, disease monitoring, and personalized medicine. RECENT
findingsStudies show that individuals with Alzheimer's, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and Parkinson's have older brain ages than their chronological age. Longitudinal research indicates that brain-predicted age difference (brain-PAD) rises with disease progression and often precedes cognitive decline. Advances in deep learning and multimodal imaging have improved the accuracy and interpretability of brain age predictions. Moreover, socioeconomic disparities and environmental factors significantly affect brain aging, highlighting the need for inclusive models. SUMMARY: Brain age estimation is a promising biomarker for identify future risk of neurodegenerative disease, monitoring progression, and helping prognosis. Challenges like implementation of standardization, demographic biases, and interpretability remain. Future research should integrate brain age with biomarkers and multimodal imaging to enhance early diagnosis and intervention strategies.
